Master of Accounting Overview
The Fisher MAcc Program
Overview
Fisher’s Master of Accounting Program helps you gain a broader and deeper understanding of how accounting functions within organizations. Our one year program, recently ranked 10th best in the nation by The CPA Personnel Report, will help you develop critical and analytical thinking, as well as reinforce strong technical skills required for CPA licensing.The program allows maximum flexibility and encourages you to think broadly about accounting, including its role in organizations, in markets and in society. We also encourage all Fisher MAcc students to design programs that develop their individual interests, skills, and potential for achieving career goals. We believe that flexibility in program design is consistent with developing individual capacity for both lifelong learning and rewarding careers.
One advantage of studying accounting is the diversity of career paths in which it plays a key role. Fisher MAcc students take positions in public accounting firms, financial services organizations, corporate business organizations, consulting firms, government agencies, and nonprofit enterprises, among other organizations. The diversity in accounting careers justifies a wide range of choice of elective courses and encouraging a portfolio approach to planning a master-level program. You should think about how you want your career to unfold and how your career moves may be supported by the courses you choose.
